Updated: Mar 6
February/March 2023
1. Wynns, The Sliding, Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, South Australia 2016
Made by a brilliant woman called Sue Hodder and she says "The aim of the wine is to deliver a leading affordable Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing exceptional varietal and regional characteristics".
What makes this wine special is the fact it is planted on a unique strip of “Terra Rossa” soil in the Coonawarra. If you rub a bit of the soil between your hands they will turn red and thay helps make this wine excellent.
Black current, cassis, cherry and slightly minty. Excellent mouthfeel, medium not too heavy.
2. Castellore Organico Organic Prosecco
A peachy, fizzy and fruity Prosecco with bright and elegant, candied apple and orange that’s only £7.99 - and organic!
3. M&S Cremant De Bordeaux Rose Brut
A sparkling rosé made in the same method as Champagne. Flavours of strawberries, brioche and a floral hint. This dry wine is great served alongside salads, chicken and party foods.
4. Sainsbury's Conegliano Prosecco
A delicate Prosecco with apricot and lemon flavours from a DOCG quality vineyard in the prized Conegliano area in North-East Italy. It makes a fantastic aperitif served with olives and antipasti.
